The Secretary Staff Side
National Council (JCM) &
Convener NJCA
New Delhi

Dear Comrade,

          At the outset on behalf of National Federation of Atomic Energy Employees (NFAEE) extend our gratitude for unifying the entire Central Government Employees under the banner of National Joint Council of Action (NJCA). It is understood that the Empowered Committee of Secretaries (EoCS) convened a meeting with the Standing Committee of National Council (JCM) on 1st March 2016. At this juncture we would like to convey our request to prioritize the charter submitted to the Cabinet Secretary on 10th December 2015 and during the meeting with EoCS should give importance based on that prioritization.

          In this regard NFAEE had proposal on prioritization of the Demands, which is given below:

I.             PAY
a.    Minimum Pay Determination:
                                         i.    Re-compute the minimum wage on the basis of the actual commodity prices as on 01.07.2015 and the actual factor the Dr. Aykroyed formula stipulated percentages for marriage, social obligations, child education, etc and Housing.
                                        ii.    Based on the correction in the findings of the cost for 14 commodities by correcting marriage, medical expenditure, recreation etc. and Housing Minimum Pay may Rounded to Rs. 22000/-.
                                       iii.    Based on the cost for 14 commodities calculated by the Andhra Pradesh Pay commission in the year 2013, the Minimum Pay be rounded to Rs. 27000-
                                      iv.    Similarly based on the cost 14 commodities calculated based on the rates available in the website of Agricultural Ministry, government of India, the Minimum Pay be rounded to Rs. 26000/-

b.    Multiple factor (Fitment Factor)
                                         i.    Based on the minimum pay determination, the Multiple Factor may be derived.
                                        ii.    No need of rationalization as suggested by the 7th Pay Commission and uniform Multiple Factor may be applied.
c.    Rate of Increment:
                                         i.    Rate of increment should be 5%.
                                        ii.    Increment should be given on 1st January & 1st July of every year to ensure the increment after completion of 12 months service
                                       iii.    Employee retiring from service on superannuation on the previous increment date should be given an increment as he/she completed 12 month service.
d.   Pay Matrix
                                         i.    Prepare new Pay Matrix based on the revised Minimum Pay as well as the revised increment
                                        ii.    At any stage the pay in Pay Matrix should not be less than increment rate to be finalized.

e.    Fixation benefit on promotion:
                                         i.    Grand two increments in the feeder cadre levels as promotion benefit
                                        ii.    Or else the promotion benefit given prior to 6th CPC under FR 22 (a) may be bring back by which ensure one increment in the feeder cadre and then fixation in the next stage in the promoted level.
                                       iii.    Anyhow from the proposed promotion benefit the “equal” word should be deleted and ensure the next stage.

f.     Abolishing of Grade Pays of Rs. 1900, Rs. 2400 and Rs. 4600
                                         i.     If the Standing Committee insists to abolish the above Grade Pay of Rs 1900, 2400, 4600, it should be ensured that the post having the above mentioned Grade Pay should be upgraded to the next Grade Pay and cascading effect should be ensured to the next promotional posts if that post also operational.
                                        ii.    For example, if the Grade Pay of Rs 2000, 2400, 2800, 4200, 4600, 2800, 5400, are the grades for a particular category of employees, and insisting the abolishing Grade Pay of 2400 & 4600, the employees in the grade pay of 2400 should be given 2800, those who are in 2800 should be given 4200 and so on as per the available grade pay. Otherwise, the senior employees who got the higher grades by virtue of promotion shall lose their benefit on promotion.  
                                       iii.    Those categories in various Departments having time bound/merit promotion schemes normally use all the pay scales (Grade Pay) without dropping pay scales in between. Hence, the creation of merger of pay scales created anomalies after anomalies in those Departments such as Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Space, DRDO, Department of Science & Technology, etc where the time bound promotion policy is exists, in all Technical posts.  

II.           PENSION:

a.    Withdraw NPS
                                         i.    Should insist to exclude all Central Government Employees from the ambit of the National Pension Scheme (NPS).
                                        ii.    If the Government is not accepting the demand during the discussion, without prejudice to our demand, we should insist to improve  the NPS such as:
1.   Ensure 50% of the last pay drawn as minimum pension in NPS
2.   Ensure family pension to the family members
3.   Compensation to the losses attained by the NPS beneficiary who joined in the scheme during 2004 – 2011
4.   To make operational the Tier II accounts under NPS
5.   Tax treatment under NPS
6.   Introduction of Gratuity, Leave Encashment, etc. to those employees in NPS, etc

b.    Revision in Pension
                                         i.    Pension should be 60% of the last pay drawn
                                        ii.    Family pension should be 60% of the last pay drawn
                                       iii.    Enhance the pension and family pension by 5% after every five years, 10% increase after attaining the age of 85% & 20% on attaining age of 90.
                                      iv.    Commuted value of pension to be restored after 10 years or attaining the age of 70 years, whichever is earlier
                                        v.    Fixed Medical Allowance for those pensioners not covered by CGHS & REHS to be increased by Rs. 2000/- pm
                                      vi.    Provide one increment on the last day in service, if the concerned employee has completed six months or more from the date of grant of last increment

c.    Gratuity
                                         i.    Gratuity calculation should not be restricted to 33 years to those employees completed service more than 33 years
                                        ii.    As per the Gratuity Act 1972 for calculating the salary for a day monthly slary should be divided by 26 instead of 30 days. In fact the Government employees are working 22 or 23  days in a month to calculate the salary for one day, monthly salary should be divided by 22 or 23 instead of 30 days.. But at least consider the Gratuity Act and calculate one day salary by 26 instead of 30 as per the provision in the Gratuity Act.

d.   One more option to switch over to Pension Scheme:
                                         i.    It is mandatory to the Government to bring option to the employees covered the scheme.
                                        ii.    As there are changes brought into the defined pension scheme  earlier as well as proposed by the 7th Pay Commission, one more option should be given to those employees in service prior to 2004 to switch over from CPF to GPF or vice versa.

III.         ALLOWANCES

a.    Overtime Allowance:
                                         i.    Since 5th CPC Overtime Allowance has not been revised for the Central Government Employees other than the Industrial workers
                                        ii.    Though Overtime is not the right, there are various Departments operating Round the Clock Shift pattern to ensure the uninterrupted service. There are Various operative Plants for Research & Development establishments, under Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Space, DRDO and other Defence Laboratories under Ministry of Defence, CSIR and other Science & Technology Establishments, Indian Posts, Ground Water Department, etc.
                                       iii.    As the Overtime Allowance was not revised the rate of Allowance offered for these employees are lesser than normal wage. For the first eight hours the lowest paid employee having Grade Pay of Rs1800 is getting his normal salary as Rs. 525/- where as for the next eight hour if asked to continue his duty as the reliever has not turned up for duty, he will be get about Rs.80/- as per his notional pay as on 31.12.29185.
                                      iv.    The impression among the Government that only Staff Car drivers are performing Overtime should be corrected. In the Department like Atomic Energy the Technical Staff, supporting Staff, Drivers, Security Personnel, etc are compulsorily to over stay as per various safety stipulations and man power requirement to continue their Research & Development Work in Round the Clock Shift and hence the revision of Overtime Allowance should be given priority.

b.    House Rent Allowance
                                         i.    HRA should be retained 30%, 20%, 10% for X,Y,Z category of cities respectively.

c.    Transport Allowance
                                         i.    Transport Allowance should be enhanced equal to the increase in salary by %. As the Pay commission recommended increase in salary by 14.22%, the Transport Allowance also should enhance by 14.22%. If the Minimum Pay increases after negotiation, the % of increased to be considered  and accordingly Transport allowance also should enhanced accordingly
                                        ii.    The transport Allowance should be net of TAX.

b.    Bench mark on Promotion and MACP
                                         i.    Performance benchmark should be reverted back in the case of Promotion  as well as on MACP

c.    Parity in Pay of HQ and Field Staff
                                         i.    Parity should be ensured by retaining the higher pay at the Head Quarters to the field staff.
                                        ii.    Withdraw the proposal to bring down the Section Officer to Level 9 from existing Level 10 HHead quartersHHhh
                                       iii.    Withdraw the abolition of the existing facility to upgrade 30% UDC to the Grade Pay of Rs 4200 in the Central Secretariat and extend it to all Departments and field level

Annexure II

The wrong inputs from Labour Bureau Shimla
The Pay commission claimed that the prices of all items for finding Minimum Pay based in the Akkroyed formula have been sourced from Labour Bureau, Shimla. From the Annexure to Chapter 4.2 it can be see that the rate quoted was far less than that of the real rate during that period across the country.
The rate quoted by Labour Bureau is unbelievable and misguiding. For example, the rate of whole Wheat at Ernakulam, Mundakkayam, Quilon, Talcher, Ghaziabad, Asansole, Durgapur, Haldia, Howrah, Jalpaiguri, Kolkatta, etc. shown as Rs 5 to 10 where as other places of the country the rate was shown as Rs 15 to 35.  
Similarly when the rate of Wheat Atta verified the rate at Tinsukia, Silchar, Jorhat, Tezpur, Himachal; Pradesh, Darjiling, Jalapiguri, Siliguri recorded as Rs 2 to 10 when other places in the country the rate was recorded as Rs 20 to 40. 
Another disparity was seen in the rate of Whole Wheat and Wheat Atta. This also recorded in places like Himachal Pradesh, Giridih, Ranchi, Bengaluru, Bhopal, Indore, Jabalpur, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Darjiling, Jalpaiguri, Siliguri, etc. It has been gone such an extend make the system as mockery at Darjiling Whole wheat is costing Rs 13.55 and Wheat Atta cost Rs 2.11 and in Jalapiguri it is 10.59 and Rs 3.01 and at Siliguri Whole wheat costs Rs 13.05 and for Atta just Rs5.08. It is only the Labour Bureau, Shimla or the Pay Commission can explain how the rate of Whole Wheat shall be higher than Wheat Atta at the same location as there are processing charges of grinding, packing etc involved.
 Similarly in the chart available in the website of Labour Bureau the rate of Udid Dal, Coconut oil, Sunflower oil, vegetable, etc was not available. It was not mentioned in the Report that from where these rate has been taken. 
Similarly in the Akkroyed formula suggested that the rate of Sugar and Jaggery to be taken together, where as the rate of Sugar only considered and the rate of Jaggery has not been taken.
All these discrepancies will definitely have the impact on taking the average cost of the items for calculating expenditure.


Annexure III
Minimum Pay based on the Pay Commission, Andhra Pradesh:
During the period of 2014 the Pay and Allowances of Andhra State Government was revised based on the report submitted by Shri. P.K. Agarwal, Pay Commissioner. In the above mentioned report the Pay Commission for Andhra also adopted the 15th ILC norms based on Akroyd formula for determine the minimum pay.
In the para 05.15, Page 26, Vol. I, Pay Revision Commission, Andhra Pradesh 2014 it was illustrated that the total expenditure on items prescribed by the Aykroyd formula is Rs 9830.58. The rate was taken of the year 2013 July.

The above chart shows that after deduction of Income Tax, the take home salary of all these section of employees shall be lesser than that of today. For the purpose of illustration, 10% on Income Tax has been considered for PB2 & 0% for PB3. PB1 excluded from Income Tax even though those who are in the GP of Rs2000 onward are also coming under TAX net.

The above situation also warranted a revisit on Minimum Pay.
